iAnywhere, a subsidiary of Sybase, today released version 5.4 of its XTNDConnect PC mobile device-to-desktop synchronization software. Version 5.4 adds support for Windows Mobile 5.0 devices as well as the latest Sony Ericsson models.

XTNDConnect PC is a software application that allows users to synchronize contacts, calendars, tasks, E-Mail and notes between mobile devices and popular PC applications such as ACT!, Microsoft Outlook, Lotus Notes and Novell Groupwise.

XTNDConnect PC was recently acquired by Sybase through its purchase of Extended Systems in October 2005 and is being integrated into Sybase's iAnywhere subsidiary.

"We believe we are well-positioned to provide support for the multitude of Windows Mobile 5.0 devices that are now entering the market," said Gerd Uitdewilligen, XTNDConnect PC product manager at iAnywhere. "In addition, XTNDConnect PC provides great flexibility with its support for numerous phones and PDAs and multiple desktop PIMs in many different languages."

Along with Windows Mobile 5.0, XTNDConnect PC 5.4 supports additional Windows-powered devices such as Pocket PC, Pocket PC Phone Edition and Smartphone devices. Most Palm, Sony Ericsson and NEC phone models are also supported. XTNDConnect PC is available in 11 languages and has been validated in the market with more than 25 million copies shipped.
